Dear friend,
my names are daniel mills. i'm a 65 years old man. i am british living in
dubai ( united arab mirate). i'm a merchant and owned two businessess in
dubai. i'm married with two children. my wife and two children died in a car
accident six years ago. before this happened my business and concern for
making money was all i lived for.i never really cared about other values in
life but since the loss of my family, i have found a new desire to assist
helpless familes. i have been helping orphans in orphanage/motherless
homes.i have donated some money to orphans in sudan,south
africa,cameroun,brazil,spain, austria, germany and some asian countries
before i became ill,i kept some money, twelve and a half million
dollars $12.5million) to be precise in a long term deposit account in a
security company in land.presently, i'm in a hospital.my doctors told me i
have prostrate cancer that i have a few months to live.it is my last wish to
see this money distributed to charity organizations.because so much of my
wealth has been plundered by relatives and friends since my illness,i cannot
live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them
please,i beg you in the name of God to help me collect the deposit from the
security company in canada and distribute it amongst charity organizations.
use your judgement to distribute the money and keep 5% of it to
yourself.feel free to reimburse yourself when you have the money for any
cost you incur during the process of collecting and ditributing the money to
charity organizations.may the good Lord bless you and your family.
i await your urgent response.
